  Made me think of Eliminators too. In a good way.

  by Ecto-1

  Manborg was covered over at Twitch ages ago. They also put up some of the same director's short films, one of which, called Heart Of Karl was brilliant. I really like this guys work. I think he's got a shit load of talent and some great energy. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Manborg. It certainly makes me think of Eliminators, but in a good way because I love that flick. Some of the best flicks that Charlie Band produced were under the Empire Pictures banner.

  I like the big stop-motion robot/creature/guy/thing. It reminds me of "Jason of Star Command."

  There are probably worse ways to spend 60 minutes at this festival. I can't think of any right now, but I will.

  Draculon is way cool, so is ASTRON-6

  by poonhead

  All I know is Draculon was fucking awesome. And man, aren't these new Slideshow Collectible Hot Toys awesome? I mean gosh I wish I could afford one of the amazingly rendered Michael Keaton Batman, or Jack Nicholson Joker or Iron Man Mark 1 figures! They look great! Where's the Slideshow Manborg figures? Or Father's Day figures???

  John Ary belongs to the city

  by CAPTAIN RIGHTWING

  John Ary belongs to the night; John Ary needs no-one to tell him what is wrong and what is right.

  "Manborg"? That doesn't even make sense as a word.

  by buggerbugger

  If a merging of the words 'cybernetic' and 'organism' creates the term 'cyborg' (cyb-org), then what is 'manborg' supposed to represent? A cross between a living organism (man-) and a living organism (-org) with a superfluous letter 'b' in the middle of it? The 'b' doesn't belong to either half of the new word.
